Hopkinton, MA, Oct 01, 2019 /prREACH/ -- InnerIcons, a socially responsible brand dedicated to creating effective mindfulness therapy games, recently discussed the growing number of schools all over the world that are introducing mindfulness education for the proper mental development of children. The company is the creator of an extremely popular mindfulness therapy game that has been used with great results by children, adults, and even people with autism. InnerIcon's toys for autism are available on Amazon.

Mindfulness provides children with simple, practical tools that work directly with their nervous systems, helping them regulate emotional states and focus attention. Children's mindfulness education starts with learning focusing skills. When they learn to focus on just one thing, their minds calm down and grow stronger. Refined concentration skills, in turn, helps children do better in sports, school and the arts.

InnerIcons says that as many as 370 schools across England have decided to teach their students the techniques for meditation, muscle relaxation, and breathing exercises for mindfulness. The British government is conducting the program under a mental health study that will run until 2021. Secondary school students in England will also get the opportunity to learn about awareness and how to increase it in their everyday lives.

"Meditation, yoga, and other mindfulness practices are beginning to pop up in school systems, and for good reason," says InnerIcons spokesperson Joseph O'Connell. "Studies have shown that teaching kids mindfulness practices can build students' focus, respect for classmates, self-control, and empathy, all while reducing stress, hyperactive behavior, ADHD symptoms, and depression. Also, grades are shown to improve for students who participate in mindfulness programs."

InnerIcon's autism learning toys come in the form of a card game that has been designed by a team of teachers and therapists to teach children, teens, and adults about mindfulness. This 40-card deck comes with a 12-page booklet featuring directions and extension activities that promote inner calm, peace and self-care for a healthy mind.
